In 2015, as a Liberal wave swept Justin Trudeau to a majority government, the Conservative candidate in the riding of Carleton barely managed to avoid being swamped on election day. That candidate, Pierre Poilievre, won by just 705 votes over his Liberal rival whose support, like many Liberals across the country, was surging in the final week. The totals in Carleton: 42,428 votes cast with 46 per cent going to Poilievre.

Jan 30, 2025 | globalnews.ca | David Akin

By day's end on Thursday, the race to become the next leader of the Liberal Party of Canada - and the country's 24th prime minister - had narrowed to five candidates. One of those remaining candidates vows to deport 500,000 "illegal immigrants"; another would halve the size of cabinet; another would cut the GST while raising corporate taxes; just about all seemed prepared to bail on the consumer carbon tax while one - the perceived leader in the race - has been noticeably silent and media-shy.
